Autumn belongs to good old friends. Again I said hello to burgundy - one of my best mates and allies this time of the year. It forms a powerful team with the pastel sweater. Another good friend is this fured collared jacket I rescued last year from a thrift shop. It got a new life. As for boyfriends, our relationship has been flourishing. For several months we have been meeting on a regular basis and we are not bored yet.

I remember a childhood photo in which I'm sitting on the chair at home wearing yellow wellies. My feet don't reach the floor yet. I'm maybe 4 or 5. Now I have a second pair of rain boots in my life. Not yellow, this time, but green and purple. Perfect for muddy park lanes, marshy meadows and autumnal drizzles.

I have never been parka enthusiast. However, recently I've changed my mind and now I have two in my wardrobe. One of them you could see in the previous post. Parkas (and anoraks) are traditional Eskimoo outer garments (Which reminds me of a very interesting parka I've seen in British Museum. It was made of seal intestines...). They were adapted by the US army in the 1950s and used during the war with Korea. In the 1960s they became popular among British youngsters. I remember that when I was about 12, so in mid 1990s, I had one and... I hated it. Few years ago they came back to fashion. Although nowadays they've been way different from a shapeless one I owned, I wasn't convinced. Until now.

Being a mum means doing everything twice as fast as before. That's why now it takes me some 3-5 minutes to decide what to wear and put it on. Comfort and layering are key. Especially during daily long walks in the park when the weather is changing fast.
